BIARTEY'S SPINNING SONG, FR. THE RIDING TO LITHEND, by GORDON BOTTOMLEY Poet's Biography First Line: They go by three Last Line: The core slips out. Subject(s): Spinning | |||
THEY go by three And the moon shivers; The tired waves flee, The hidden rivers Also flee. I take three strands; There is one for her, One for my hands, And one to stir For another's hands. I twine them thinner, The dead wool doubts; The outer is inner The core slips out. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IRISH INTERIOR by EAVAN BOLAND THE IRISH SPINNING-WHEEL by ALFRED PERCEVAL GRAVES A SPINNING SONG by JOHN FRANCIS O'DONNELL THE SPINNING-WHEEL [SONG] by JOHN FRANCIS WALLER THE MAIDS OF ELFIN-MERE by WILLIAM ALLINGHAM THE SPINNER by CLARA DOTY BATES THE SPINNING-WHEEL (YONDERLAND SONG) by LYA BERGER A YEAR'S SPINNING by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING BESS AND HER SPINNING-WHEEL by ROBERT BURNS |
